The Bucks / Cavs game tonight was very entertaining. Great crowd. Great players hitting shots. Really a showcase for the NBA.
Great building last night. Couldn't believe the Bucks let them back in with LeBron on the bench.Kidd telling Midds to miss that last FT was... curious.
Was wondering if someone could explain that last play decision to me. I thought it was a terrible decision. Take the 4 point lead.
The guy is a total moron, that's the only explanation.Kidd was asked the question in his post game press conference. I watched his answer on YouTube but am struggling to find the video now. I may miss a word here or there, but as close to word for word as I can remember, his explanation was:"Me being a gambling guy, I'll take my chances with them needing to hit a shot from the other end of the court rather than them being able to inbound the ball to half court, hit a half court shot and get fouled and go to the line for a 4 point play."Uhh...what?!
I don't think Jason Kidd makes it to the all star break.
Glad to see the Bulls are losing some games again. Lavine is coming back soon so hopefully they can trade Mirotic and get some kind of asset. Thus far, I will say I was wrong about the trade. Butler has been a beast in Minnesota but Markannen and Dunn, although inconsistent, have been much better than I expected. We'll see how Lavine plays coming off his injury. I'm still pessimistic about the front office and the overall rebuild but hopefully I'll be wrong again.
Markannen has been good and Dunn has been a surprise. But I still think this all comes down to the 16th pick. That could be Justin Patton or Jarrett Allen, who could make Lopez much more expendable for the rebuild. Or Anunoby who has played very well in Toronto or Ferguson who looks like another volume scorer in the making in OKC. Sending that pick along with Butler to the TWolves was so dumb and what made me not trust the deal or the front office. Those 3 players can all turn out well, but if Butler keeps playing the way he has, and Justin Patton comes back from injury to be a productive piece moving forward, the Bulls lose that deal unless Markannen becomes an All Star and Lavine takes a BIG leap.
Yup. I loved Markannen, but he seemed like a second Mirotic to me and there was no way they should?ve given a pick back to the TWolves.Plus aren?t the Bulls the team that sold Bell to the Warriors? I wanted the Bucks to trade back and take Bell late first round. I think he?s going to be a contributor in the league for a long time.
Yes, the Bulls sold Bell to the Warriors. Sounded like an ownership decision but selling talent on a rebuilding team is never a good idea. The fan base hates the front office so much though they make it seem like they sold an All-Star.
But they seemingly sold him to raise money for buyouts of players they should have never F-ing signed in the first place.Bell isn't an All-Star, but he's getting 15 min a game on the best team in basketball and is very active with a ton of potential and athleticism. If you had him, Portis, and Markkanen once you trade Mirotic, thats a nice young base at the F position. Id certainly rather have him than Felicio.
I love Doncic, I want him to be a Bull. I think he potentially could be one of the greatest Euro NBA players ever.
I'm curious to see if how they handle Jabari, trade him or max contract?
